“…Combining the responses of architects and industrial designers/ artists together, they appear to suggest that "the perception of visual aesthetics in buildings has to do with building features that are unique, exciting and please the senses." This definition seems close to that offered by Moshagen and Thielsch (2010), and to that suggested by Tractinsky and Eytam (2012), which latter states that "aesthetics is the property of an object that produces a pleasurable experience in observers. "…”

Visual assessments are very relevant in the study of architecture since this is a profession that relies immensely on the visual sense of humans. This study contributes to the understanding of visual perceptions, as well as to the wider field of environment and behaviour studies. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the aesthetic perceptions of public buildings among design professionals with a view towards understanding the mindsets of different design professions towards façade designs. The study considered three types of design professionals: architects, engineers and industrial designers/artists. Two hundred questionnaires were analysed using a mixed methods approach. The variables used in analysing the façades of public buildings were roof design, façade colour, entrance design, fenestration arrangements and innovation in building form. Twelve images of public office buildings in Alagbaka in Akure, Nigeria, were selected for study using random selection and cluster classification methods. A photo-interviewing analysis method was adopted for analysing visual images of the buildings: first-hand visual data were obtained from the study site using digital photographs of each building, and questionnaires were then administered to respondents regarding the images. Data were measured using five-point semantic differential scales, and relevant information obtained through this method was analysed using descriptive statistics, such as frequencies and percentages. Also, inferential statistics using the Kruskal Wallis test was used to determine whether there existed significant differences within the groups of design professionals. Findings from the quantitative analysis showed that there were no significant differences among the groups, although qualitative interview sessions did reveal that while architects and industrial designers/artists exhibit similarities in aesthetic perceptions of public buildings’ façade designs, the perceptions of engineers differ slightly. While these results need to be treated, interpreted and considered with care, design professionals can learn from these subtle differences in the results. The views of each design profession are important during a design process as the final outcome of the design is greatly dependent on the collective contributions of individual professions due to their peculiarity.

“…Aesthetic design has been shown to affect our first impressions of objects, and these first impressions often color the way in which we perceive those objects. Thus, the design of attractors on public display will set the tone for people's experiences with them [35].…”

Most studies take for granted the critical first steps that prelude interaction with a public display: awareness of the interactive affordances of the display, and enticement to interact. In this paper we investigate mechanisms for enticing interaction on public displays, and study the effectiveness of visual signals in overcoming the 'first click' problem. We combined 3 atomic visual elements (color/greyscale, animation/static, and icon/text) to form 8 visual signals that were deployed on 8 interactive public displays on a university campus for 8 days. Our findings show that text is more effective in enticing interaction than icons, color more than greyscale, and static signals are more effective than animated. Further, we identify gender differences in the effectiveness of these signals. Finally, we identify a behavior termed "display avoidance" that people exhibit with interactive public displays.

“…One important point to make, having reviewed multiple different uses of IoT sensors and actuators, is that the devices physically deployed in a given environment will likely be used for multiple purposes concurrently (e.g., images from a single IoT camera may serve as input to spatial understanding, semantic understanding, photometric registration, and visual texture estimation algorithms), so consideration will need to be given to balancing the needs of each use in these cases. Similarly, our vision for ambient IoT for AR in general, is that it is combined with the use of ambient IoT devices for other purposes; for example, IoT-based systems incorporating devices also applicable to AR have been proposed for energy efficiency [171], occupant comfort and productivity [19], surveillance [214] and building ventilation [35], while in [196] the authors consider the role of ubiquitous displays in environment aesthetics. Moreover, as AR becomes more and more integrated into our lives in the coming years, we envision that built environments, products and materials will be designed with ambient intelligence for AR in mind, in order to support the use cases we have laid out in this book chapter.…”

Next-generation augmented reality (AR) promises a high degree of context-awareness -a detailed knowledge of the environmental, user, social and system conditions in which an AR experience takes place. This will facilitate both the closer integration of the real and virtual worlds, and the provision of context-specific content or adaptations. However, environmental awareness in particular is challenging to achieve using AR devices alone; not only are these mobile devices' view of an environment spatially and temporally limited, but the data obtained by onboard sensors is frequently inaccurate and incomplete. This, combined with the fact that many aspects of core AR functionality and user experiences are impacted by properties of the real environment, motivates the use of ambient IoT devices, wireless sensors and actuators placed in the surrounding environment, for the measurement and optimization of environment properties. In this book chapter we categorize and examine the wide variety of ways in which these IoT sensors and actuators can support or enhance AR experiences, including quantitative insights and proof-of-concept systems that will inform the development of future solutions. We outline the challenges and opportunities associated with several important research directions which must be addressed to realize the full potential of next-generation AR.
